| The exceptionally talented Jazz group Weather | | | | While this entire album is outstanding some of my |
| Report have released their CD entitled 830. I am | | | | favorites are track 3 - A Remark You Made, |
| very confident and happy to announce that I | | | | track 5 - In A Silent Way, and track 12 - |
| believe Weather Report fans, and Jazz fans alike | | | | Sightseeing |
| will be pleased with this one. With the release of | | | | My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in |
| 830 their artistic excellence is on full display as | | | | "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Black Market. This |
| they have once again delivered a brilliant collection | | | | is a great track! |
| of tracks that could very well be their best work | | | | 830 Release Notes: |
| to date. | | | | Weather Report originally released 830 on June |
| Weather Report have been a super stars in the | | | | 28, 1994 on the Legacy Recordings label. |
| Jazz genre for quite some time now and 830 is | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| an excellent illustration as to why. | | | | 1. Black Market |
| Weather Report is one of those groups that have | | | | 2. Teen Town |
| the ability to just bowl you over with their | | | | 3. Remark You Made, A |
| collective talent. The kind of musicians it's really a | | | | 4. Slang |
| treat to be able to listen to. | | | | 5. In A Silent Way |
| 830 is a pleasantly varied, mix of 12 tracks that | | | | 6. Birdland |
| are very well written and brilliantly performed | | | | 7. Thanks For The Memory |
| songs by these clearly gifted musicians. Most of | | | | 8. Badia / Boogie Woogie Waltz |
| the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that | | | | 9. 8:30 |
| makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing | | | | 10. Brown Street |
| from what I can only imagine are their own | | | | 11. Orphan, The |
| personal experiences. At different points touching | | | | 12. Sightseeing |
| on the most real emotions of love, and the pain | | | | Weather Report: Joe Zawinul (keyboards, |
| of failed relationships can certainly be heard. | | | | synthesizer, bass, vocoder); Wayne Shorter |
| Overall 830 is an outstanding release. What I call | | | | (soprano & tenor saxophone); Jaco Pastorius |
| must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is | | | | (bass, drums); Peter Erskine (drums, percussion); |
| most definitely a worthy addition to any Jazz | | | | Erich Zawinul (percussion). |
| collection. Truly an outstanding Jazz CD. One of | | | | Additional personnel: Ten members of the West |
| those that is completely void of any wasted time, | | | | Los Angeles Christian Academy Children's Choir. |
| as each track is simply superb. | | | | |
